Hehehe...simple but effective and fun. We have a dessert called Cranachan, it doesn't go in a plant pot but all it is, is whipped cream with add ons. Beautiful though, if you like the addons: See Mike was right about the uisge...
Shouldn'tve ditched the gf... ...look, it's not my fault He works for a distiller. My fave this year is actually this: The strawberry and vanilla one is yummy with cranberry juice...mmmmm. We had a lovely time, my son stayed and ate with us and it was all very relaxed and fun. Best Christmas for years. Last year everyone had a really bad cold/flu type thing and I couldn't move or eat anything on the day. Brought in the New Year sitting in bed watching the fireworks across the river.
Pork in our case, though they're also made with beef. There was a bit of a dispute at Christmas dinner over what they should be called. My partner's side of the family calls them "golumpki", but his cousins call them "pigs in a blanket". In my own family, "pigs in a blanket" are hot dogs rolled-up in dough. I personally haven't ever tried golabki, as I'm not a great fan of cabbage. I did at least have some of the sauerkraut this year, which was actually quite good and nothing like what my mother makes. I've also never been a fan of potato salad, but I will eat the potato salad that my partner's mother makes, which is more like a German potato salad but served cold.
Yes, Golabki is Polish. I can't say whether the German Krautrouladen are the same. Some my partner's ancestors hail from Danzig (now part of Poland). I'm finding that many of the words & phrases they use are Polish and Plattdeutsch.
I'm not a fan of cooked cabbage, smells like Hell when you cook it. However raw cabbage in a salad is great, and one of the best Cancer fighting foods you can eat. Red cabbage also looks great in a salad, sliced thin of course. Naaaa, your cousin is wrong, pigs in a blanket are tiny wieners in dough like you said. How can you call ''chopped'' pork a pig? It may be pork but it's not a whole singular thing wrapped in a blanket. The wiener has it's own personality, thus little piggies...LOL
We had Prince Orloff Roast (with mushroom sauce) with witloof (Belgian endive), fine spinach, cranberry puree and baked potatoes with paprika = bell pepper or something?).
